What is Pixelmine?
This is not a Minecraft server. Pixelmine is simply a community-run social networking system. Its core purpose is to create a trustless network of distributed databases that will power a mobile social networking application.
A typical mobile or web application will connect to a server owned or managed by an organization. That organization has the sole power to do anything with the data, alter it, delete it, moderate it, make money out of it, etc. Some people maybe don't care about these issues. Nonetheless, Pixelmine is solving this issue by giving back the control of data to whoever owns it, the people.
The Pixelmine network is composed of two main players the Storers and the users. The Storers is anybody who wants to run the Storer engine in their machine and host the data. The users are the one that uses the mobile application itself. Is it another cryptocurrency? This is not a cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency uses blockchain to store transaction information and give rewards based on consensus algorithms. Pixelmine only distributes encrypted social network data to people who want to run it. Period. What is in it for the network? We give back something to the network. This may be the only thing that we can do that other organization cannot. Give a fixed percentage of our revenue to the network. Of course we will less the operational expenses and salaries, we need to eat too.
Another important thing that we are proud of having is voting. The essence of democracy is majority rule. We believe that all of us have different cultural, political, and religious beliefs. We designed Pixelmine to not care about these kinds of issues so we put voting everywhere, from posting content to adding a feature in the mobile application. The people will decide how they want the application to run and what content they want to see.
